Geotechnical engineering,
Materials (roadways, aircraft runways, structural and maritime engineering works, buildings, etc.)
The environment, hydrogeology, and contaminated sites and soils,
Project management for predominantly geotechnical projects,
Asbestos: diagnostics and dust measurements, recently accredited by COFRAC

Our areas of activity

Experimental building and public works sector
Geotechnics
Geology
Materials testing
Building and public works assessments
Instrumentation and measurements
Hydrogeology and the environment

Structural inspections carried out by rope access technicians

Regular monitoring of engineering structures is an important factor in ensuring the safety of users and the long-term survival of the region's heritage. For this reason, LTPP’s teams are fully trained in the detection of structural defects and are equipped with a wide range of measuring equipment and instruments to monitor these structures. This enables them to inspect several structures each year, including metal, brick, stone, reinforced and pre-stressed concrete structures.

Rehabilitation of the AHE - TUAMOTU airstrip

French Polynesia has 43 territorial airfields, 4 state airfields and several private airfields serving luxury hotels or pearl farms. Each year, two or three airfields are upgraded, equipped or rebuilt to CHEA standards. For each of these projects, LTPP is involved in carrying out design studies, supervising the laying of asphalt mixes and providing support to contractors and contracting authorities.

Geotechnical investigations on the Vaihiria dam

Geotechnical surveys and tests, LTPP's main activity, are carried out throughout French Polynesia and its islands, which are often difficult to access. The core sampling and pressuremeter tests were carried out as part of a dam development project on behalf of a local hydroelectric company.

Groundwater Quality Control, PAIHORO CET - TAHITI

LTPP is equipped with multiple submersible pumps and multi-parameter ground measurement devices to take groundwater samples at depths of up to 100 m as part of water quality monitoring. LTPP works on behalf of local authorities, operators, private developers and individuals. LTPP also carries out borehole diagnostics using camera inspection, pumping tests and SSP missions in accordance with the NF X 31-620 standard: pollution diagnostics, management plans, etc. LTPP has a wide range of equipment for sampling soil, soil gases, surface water and groundwater, as well as for conducting geophysical surveys.

Monitoring asbestos removal on the EX COMSUP site in Pirae

With several years of experience in asbestos diagnostics, LTPP has decided to support recently established local asbestos removal companies. Thanks to its COFRAC accreditation in this field, it can now take air samples to measure dust levels.
LaboTP has become a major player and a trusted partner for local authorities in the field of asbestos diagnostics and monitoring of asbestos removal operations.
